Hi everyone,
First of all, I'm sorry that I've been gone for a little while. Life things just sort of got in the way. But anyway, I'm back now.
It's no secret that I have a great love for lip products, particularly lipstick, and I've accumulated some new things recently (because God knows I don't have enough already) so I thought that I would make June lip product month, starting, fittingly I think, with The Lip Product Addict Tag.
This tag was originally created by EssieButton and Amelia Liana over on
YouTube, but I thought I would do it here.

1.
Favourite balm/treatment?
I only ever really use one lip balm and that's the good old reliable Vaseline. At the moment I'm using this Rose one, which I really like because it has a slight pink tint to it, but the Aloe Vera and Cocoa ones are also really nice.
2.
Best eye catching red?
I actually did an
entire post about my favourite red lip products a few months ago, and have discovered a few more since then, but I think my all time favourite is the Kate Moss for Rimmel lipstick in 01. It's just a really nice classic red. It's quite high coverage, but it's also really moisturising.
3. Best drugstore?
Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick in Cherries in the Snow. I love the formulation of Revlon lipsticks, they're really pigmented and moisturising, and Cherries in the Snow is just such a nice deep raspberry colour.
4.
Best high-end/MAC lipstick?
This is actually supposed to be two separate questions, but I don't actually have very many high-end or MAC lipsticks, so I thought I'd just combine the two. My favourite is definitely Lady Danger, a really bright, matte orange-red (it's much more orange than it's showing up in the photgraphs)
5.
Most disappointing?
I don't have any huge disappointments to tell you about, but I was a bit let down by this Sleek Matte Me in the colour Party Pink that I got a few weeks ago. It applies really nicely and the colour is amazing, but it dries to a sort of sticky consistency, rather than drying completely. When I tried to eat in it it went everywhere, and trying to reapply it evenly when some had come off was basically impossible. It's just a shame, because I really like the colour.
6. Liner yes or no?
No never. My attitude to lip liner and lip brushes is generally one of 'ain't nobody got time for that'. I know that I probably should use it, particularly because I wear so much bright lipstick, and I'm sure you can find many a picture on this blog where my lipstick is smudged, but I just can't be bothered. It's more fun to apply it straight from the tube!
7.
Best gloss?
I actually have two for this, one high-street and one high-end, seeing as I only had one for the lipstick question. For high-street I have the Revlon Super Lustrous lipgloss in Kiss Me Coral. It's really lovely bright coral with glitter, and a real spring and summer colour. And the packaging is really nice too.
For high-end, I have the Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Colour Luminous Lip Gloss in Red Door Red. I think I reviewed this before. This is just a really smooth, thick lipgloss. It smells amazing and the colour is really nice and buildable too.
8.
Something extra!
I didn't really know what to put for this, so I thought I'd just tell you about one of my recent lip discoveries. The Kate Moss/Rimmel line recently released some new colours. I got the shade 31, and I have been wearing it non-stop since. It's a really nice raspberry colour (are we seeing a trend here?) that's almost matte, but also really moisturising. I will probably be going back to get more shades in the near future.
And that concludes the tag!
